Radar footage of a chase between two fighter jets and a mile-wide fleet of 1,900mph UFOs is being studied by defence chiefs.
Up to 300 locals reported witnessing the astonishing hot pursuit’ of up to 12 mystery craft flying in unison in the skies over the US state of Texas 15 years ago.
But military top brass failed to acknowledge the incident took place or offer any explanation of what the F-16s were chasing. At first the US Air Force denied any of its jets were in the area at the time.

Then it conceded there had been an internal communications mistake and aircraft had been near the remote town of Stephenville when hundreds of locals reported the pursuit.
But military chiefs still refused to acknowledge the giant line of florescent orbs shooting away from the jets making movements beyond any manmade aircraft.
UFO investigators used Freedom Of Information laws to obtain radar footage from the night of the sighting – January 8 2008.
They found the UFOs appeared on radar pursued by the jets.
That footage is among 510 close encounters between military personnel and unidentified craft currently being probed by the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office on behalf of the the US Defence Department.
